    Sweet, cheers fellas.

    Makes a bit more sense now.

    Genuine or super tech valve seals anyone?

    Nice one Pete. Neither is better than the other then? Both fit with any valves? Sorry if I'm bombarding with questions.

    No worries pal. Thanks for your input

    Honda oem gear seem to be so good, making choice between OEM and aftermarket is quite difficult and you literally need Guinea pigs, or people with experience

    Hey fellas.

    Been through real streets site. Got questions about valve train.

    Ones I like the look of are the super tech 92lb with retainers. My question is, are bases required or will the oem ones do the job and do they come with the bases in the "kit"

    Cheers

    Hey fellas.

    Dredge this up again.

    What lb springs are needed? And do you need titanium retainers?
    Got 92lb super techs with titanium retainers in the basket so far.

    What's up man. Sorry I never saw your last post.

    What cams are you going with? The reason you go with higher spring rates for valvetrain is because of the ramp on the cam you'll be using. If you're going with a big high lift, fast ramp cam you'll need the higher spring rate. I don't know if 92 is the higher rate or not. But this is also effected by the rpm you desire. If going beyond 9k I'd go with the higher rate spring as well.

    And titanium retainers are needed when you buy valvetrain and you'll need spring bases as well but I'd check with your kit. They should be called "seats".

    Standard cams and rev limit probably of no more than 8.6k as I am likely to just use a new oem k20a2 oil pump

    Thanks for clearing some of that up. Anything to look for with bases? Materials wise?
    And valves, are they worth replacing/ upgrading?

    Yea I'd say the standard set of spring rates would suffice. And I'm unsure of the bases material but I'd be more than willing to bet that whatever the standard is, is fine. I'm running the supertech kit and they are still good to go 3 years later.

    As for valves that's a topic I know little about.
    I've got custom Manley race valves in my new engine per the builders request. +1mm all around I believe. Oem with just spring and retainers are fine also. I have a few friends running the combo making good power and no issues to date.
